How to execute a command in a different shell?

I have a bash script that opens up a shell called salome shell and it should execute a command called as_run in that shell. The thing is that after entering the salome shell it doesn't execute the command until I exit the salome shell. This is the code that i got:

#!/bin/bash

cd /opt/salome/appli_V2018.0.1_public
./salome shell
eval "as_run /home/students/gbroilo/Desktop/Script/Template_1_2/exportSalome"

What should I do in order to execute the command in the salome shell?

Solution

Might be this is what you want:

# call salome shell with commands in a specified script file
cd /opt/salome/appli_V2018.0.1_public
./salome shell <"/home/students/gbroilo/Desktop/Script/Template_1_2/exportSalome"

Or might be this is what you want:

# pipe a command as_run... to salome shell
cd /opt/salome/appli_V2018.0.1_public
echo "as_run /home/students/gbroilo/Desktop/Script/Template_1_2/exportSalome" | ./salome shell

Anyway, you have to read the salome guide about how salome shell call it's script.
